Living in university accommodation is the first time living away from home for most university students and whether you are in student halls or university accommodation through a company like this student accommodation Leicester based housing //www.westmanorstudentliving.co.uk/ then it is normal to feel a bit homesick to begin with. Making your accommodation feel like home is a really good way to help you to settle in and embrace university life.
Here are some of the ways that you can do this…
Soft and Cosy Touches
Having somewhere that makes you feel comfortable, and cosy will automatically make it feel much more like home. Knitted throws, beautiful cushions and bedding that you love are all good ways to make the place your own and also to create a haven of comfort.
Memories of Home
To make the place yours you need to bring a bit of you with it. Having some memories on display, whether a favourite ornament that brings back good memories, framed photos of friends and family, or your teddy bear that you have always slept with in your bed, having these things makes it feel like home and also keeps that connection to home.
Lighting
Don’t underestimate the use of lighting if you really want somewhere that feels homely. From a bedside lamp for when you are reading at night to fun novelty lights and fairy lights to help brighten up the room, you will be amazed at how some lighting can really change the room.
